Louisville sophomore Kevin Ware spoke on his basketball-playing future for the first time since suffering a gruesome leg injury that left teammates crying while simultaneously jolting the sports world.

"This is a minor setback for a major comeback," Ware told the New York Daily News on Monday. "I have to have the right approach to it. (Doctors) told me things are gonna be good for me. This is not a lifetime injury where I can never play basketball again. ...But getting to where I want to be and where I need to be is gonna take some time."
